Once upon a time, the story goes
"Time's a-wastin'," I was told
Peeling through the pages of my mind
In a manner kind of shy
Oh boy, another light has faded deep
Oh boy, lilies of the valley in my mind
Running, running, running, running away
That's the story of the day
Time is ticking time another while
All the trouble, all the guile
Oh boy, another light has faded deep
Oh boy, there beneath the valley and the sky
The forest for the trees
Oh, oh boy, another light has faded deep
Oh boy, couldn't ever see it in my mind
The forest for the trees
Oh, I wouldn't say that I knew
No, I wouldn't say
Another moon
Take the luggage, I'll leave soon
Running, running, running for my life
I could feel you oh so high
Oh boy, another light has faded deep
Oh boy, there beneath the flowers and the sky
The forest for the trees
The forest for the trees
The forest for the trees
The forest for the trees.
